Buying a Home With Redwood

Start Your Search Online

Searching for a home is exciting! With the continuing advancements of online real estate searches, prospective homebuyers can use the
internet to get a basic idea of what homes cost in different areas. Here at c21redwood.com, we have put together the industry's best
home search tool. Our screen-width search enables users to view neighborhood and zip code boundaries to narrow their search results
and presents the mid-Atlantic region like no other site. Like a great pair of glasses, we bring our local real estate market into sharp focus!

Pressure-Free Consultations

While the internet has certainly changed the way people search for homes, purchasing a home involves a series of extremely complex steps that
are best navigated with the advice of a local expert. When your online search reaches the point where you begin to have questions about
things like mortgage options, property taxes, the differences between condo and co-op ownership, or if you're just ready to start seeing
homes-it's time to get to know an agent. This informal meeting can take place anywhere that's convenient for you including one of our
many offices!

Preview Homes

CENTURY 21 Redwood Realty's home search is optimized to allow you and your agent to communicate with each other about properties. You can
even schedule your showings right from our site! Our agents are ultra time-flexible showing professionals who are constantly studying your
likes and dislikes as you see homes together. We pride ourselves in enhancing your personal online searches by identifying more home
options that may be "hidden" by your search parameters or are just about to come on the market.

Loan Application

Realtors and loan officers work together like two doctors in the operating room. Without an effective partner on the lending side, we
can't be as effective at our job. With this in mind, we educate our agents to help guide you through initiating the mortgage process.
We work closely with a number of lenders, including Atlantic Coast Mortgage, and are happy to facilitate your transaction with the
dependable lender of your choice.

Refined Property Search

When it comes time to focus your search down to a particular neighborhood, street or home, we are there to enhance the process with
our unique mix of local expertise and comprehensive home search technology. Our automated emails will alert you to all new listings,
as well as all relevant price and status changes to properties in your target area. Additionally, our agents will use good old-fashioned
networking to get the "inside scoop" that can enhance your search on homes that will be listed soon or may be coming back on the market.

Contract Negotiations

When reviewing a contract, all eyes tend to focus on the sales price. While negotiating the price is certainly the primary goal of most
contracts, these important digits are only one aspect of a real estate offer. For example, if a home is underpriced to the point where
it may attract multiple offers, our agents can help get the home off the market quickly by working with you to craft the winning offer. Similarly, if a home
appears overpriced, our agents can help build an offer that reflects the home's worth, with a settlement date that fits your timeline.
Other contingencies, including home inspection, radon/environmental, financing, appraisal and home sale, are also taken into consideration
when structuring an offer to purchase. Because each buyer's situation is different, our agents will work with you to choose the
contingencies that make the most sense for your offer.

Pertinent Inspections

As soon as the ink has dried on your ratified contract offer, we go to work on lining up the necessary inspections. Once these have been
conducted, we'll work with you to sort through the reports, ensuring any concerns you may have are addressed with the seller. In a similar
fashion to negotiating price, there is an art to getting seemingly unwilling sellers to address property condition concerns. We take pride
in conveying our client's concerns in a professional and firm manner. While no property is inherently "perfect," we are there to ensure
that you are an informed consumer.

Settlement

In your sales contract, you will have selected a title company to arrange all of the necessary paperwork and conduct the closing. From
the time of ratification until the day of settlement, we'll work with this company to ensure that they are able to obtain all of the
necessary information, both from you and the seller. At the settlement table, we'll be there to make sure that you feel comfortable with
the "mountain of paperwork" that you'll be required to sign. This may be one of the most important days of your life, but we'll do our
best to make sure that it isn't one of the most stressful. Informed clients are happy homeowners!
